            <h1 id="quickstart">Quick Start</h1>
            <p>Using a theme is as easy as downloading a CSS file and replacing the one that comes with <a href="http://getbootstrap.com/" target="_blank">Bootstrap</a>.</p>

            <h1 id="customization">Customization</h1> 
            <p>To modify a theme or create your own, follow the steps below in your terminal. You'll need to have <a href="https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git" target="_blank">Git</a> and <a href="http://nodejs.org/" target="_blank">Node</a> installed.</p>
            <ol>
              <li><p><code>git clone git@github.com:thomaspark/bootswatch.git</code></p></li>
              <li><p><code>npm install</code></p></li>
              <li>
                <p>Edit <code>variables.less</code> and <code>bootswatch.less</code> in one of the theme directories, or create your own in <code>/custom</code>.</p>
              </li>
              <li><p>Type <code>grunt swatch:[theme]</code> to build the CSS for a theme, e.g., <code>grunt swatch:amelia</code> for Amelia. Or type <code>grunt swatch</code> to build them all at once.</p></li>
            </ol>
            <p>Here are additional tips for <a href="http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2013/03/12/customizing-bootstrap/" target="_blank">customizing Bootstrap</a>.</p>

            <h1 id="api">API</h1>
            <p>You can use the API to integrate the themes with your platform. Send your request to:</p>
            <p><a href="http://api.bootswatch.com/3/">http://api.bootswatch.com/3/</a></p>
            <p>This returns the <code>version</code> and a <code>themes</code> array with the following properties: <code>name</code>, <code>description</code>, <code>preview</code>, <code>thumbnail</code>, <code>css</code>, <code>cssMin</code>, <code>cssCdn</code>, <code>less</code>, and <code>lessVariables</code>.</p>
